We all have things that we want. Dreams for the future. Goals to accomplish. I have them. You have them. Everyone has them. How many people will see them actually happen? Research tells us only eight percent. 92 percent of people will never see their goals and dreams come to fruition.
Why? It could be lack of a plan to accomplish it or possibly getting discouraged when things get tough but one of the main reasons is that it’s just down right risky and scary. Fear stops more dreams and stunts more growth than we care to know.
I don’t care for the phrase “you have to want it more” in competitive situations with opponents but when it comes to competing against yourself it can apply.
Our biggest opponent is often times ourselves and the thoughts and beliefs in our own mind. To reach our dreams and accomplish our goals we have to win the battle with ourself.
You’re not alone if it scares you but get yourself into the eight percent and want it more than it scares you. You can do it.
Meet Todd Gordon, a seasoned educator, coach, and activities administrator who dedicated an impressive 37 years to shaping the lives of students within the realm of education. His career has taken him on a remarkable journey through nine different school districts, ranging from the intimate setting of a small school to the dynamic landscape of a large, multi-high school urban district – truly everything in between.
In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education. However, retirement did not signal an end to his passion for making a positive impact in the realm of sports and activities. Todd joined BOUND, a leading sports software company, where he continues to contribute his wealth of experience and knowledge to support activity administrators and coaches.
Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love. Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together. Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives.
Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One. One Word Leadership”, in 2022.
His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website. Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption. By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.
